May 5, 2023A fantastic album with great vocals and perfect instrumentation. Fans of female-fronted folk music have to give this album a shot

Oct 11, 2021A romantic fairytale told by a realist with a steady hand. Moments sparkle with the glitter of Disney movies and like the brothers grim backstorys for the disney princesses it coulors over dark moments. Like the abusive toxicity of the title track, a long enveloping confrontation of an emotionally abusive lover.

May 28, 2015If there’s any awards for best produced and arranged albums of 2015 then “Natalie Prass” will be a contender. Singer/songwriter Prass delivers a collection of beautifully expressive odes to life, love and loss. Her whispered tones may often appear timid, but her storytelling is the key to what is a surprisingly compelling debut, of which “Bird Of Prey” is the astonishing highlight.

Jan 31, 2015Been a while since I have not heard an album so pure and calm as this. Natalie shows her feelings as a magnificent and majestic form. So light and soft voice and the album lyricism is amazing. Indeed, this is one of the best albums I've heard so far.

Jan 30, 2015I really liked this album. There's something about it that reminds me of Sufjan Stevens, and it was a fun listen. I had never heard of her before this, but I'll take a listen again.

Jan 30, 2015I have been waiting for this album it seems like years, now that i have it the wait was well worth it. Bird of Prey is one of the best songs i have heard in a long time, the horn and string arrangements are out of this world. Ms Prass has a wonderful voice traces of Feist,and Joni Mitchell do yourself a favor get this now!

Jan 28, 2015Great album by Natalie Prass! I was pleasantly surprised by how atmospheric it is--and, above all, it sounds genuine. The music being perfect for fall/winter is a huge plus for me.

Jan 28, 2015This album is okay. I was definitely intrigued by Natalie's delicate voice and the throwback 70s easy-listening style, but ultimately I was hoping for something a bit more innovative. Aside from the first two songs and maybe a few others, much of the album sounds like something my parents or grandparents would listen to. Nothing is wrong with it, per se, it just sounds a bit dated and generic.

Feb 24, 2015The rich production and ambitious, multi-faceted arrangements provided by White’s Spacebomb crew are the perfect foil for Prass’s soft, exquisite voice and expressive, tear-stained songs, such that the overwhelming impression of the LP is, against the odds, one of triumph; of beauty both wrangled out of and amplified immeasurably by loss.

Feb 11, 2015Natalie Prass shows she’s got the complex stuff down pat, but getting back to the basics might be the next stage of development that takes her to another level.

Feb 10, 2015Hats off to this fantastic singer-songwriter for not only emerging from the fog so quickly, but also for crafting a dynamic album that is bigger than its size and very deserving of the praise it will undoubtedly receive.
